In the real world, Tsunade looked at Kagura and Danzo in confusion.

Right after Kagura said those words to Danzo, the two of them seemed to have fallen under a spell and suddenly froze in place.

She and Orochimaru exchanged puzzled glances, then each walked over to examine Kagura and Danzo.

However, they clearly understood that this might have been caused by Kagura using a genjutsu, so they did not touch their bodies.

Just as Orochimaru reached Danzo's side to observe him, Danzo's body went limp and he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Kagura on The Other Side was not doing much better. He suddenly dropped to one knee and covered his eyes.

The two quickly moved closer, and Kagura said between ragged breaths:

"Didn't... didn't expect... this ninjutsu to consume so much Chakra."

After saying that, without waiting for them to speak, he hurriedly instructed them again:

"Remember what I'm about to say. Once I pass out, explain it to the Anbu who arrive using This statement."

Tsunade and the others did not wait long. About Half an Hour Later, Konohagakure's Anbu found them.

These Anbu wore vest-style Combat attire suited for battle, with protective vest-like armor over it and white animal-inspired masks on their faces.

They saw the Devastated forest, then saw the fallen Jiraiya, Kagura, and Danzo.

Even through their masks, Tsunade and Orochimaru could still sense the shock in the Anbu's hearts.

After briefly hearing the accounts from the remaining two, their astonishment became even more apparent.

The Leader of the Anbu stared at Tsunade's sincere face in disbelief and asked:

"You mean Danzo fell unconscious after fighting a powerful enemy from Amegakure in order to protect you?"

Facing the Anbu's question, Tsunade wiped away tears that did not exist from the corners of her eyes and replied with a choked voice:

"Yes, Teacher Danzo...

In order to protect the held-hostage Jiraiya and Kagura, he actually risked his life fighting the enemy.

But that enemy was simply too powerful. Teacher Danzo was ultimately caught in that person's genjutsu and collapsed, unable to rise again.

If the enemy had not also been severely injured and left, we might not have survived either.

Teacher Danzo...

He truly was a good teacher who cared for his students!

Sob, sob, sob..."

It had to be said that women were born actresses.

Under Orochimaru's helpless yet faintly horrified gaze, Tsunade sobbed as she recounted the so-called "truth."

By the end, she had even started crying involuntarily.

At That Moment, Orochimaru even began to doubt whether everything he had seen before had been some kind of genjutsu, and whether Tsunade's account was the truth.

Even Orochimaru, who knew the full story, had begun to doubt himself. The Anbu were even less likely to fare any better.

In truth, Tsunade's account had no flaws. The only problem was the Protagonist of the story.

Unlike ordinary Konohagakure ninja, these Anbu knew Danzo's true nature perfectly well.

Would someone like him abandon a mission just to save his own students?

You might as well say that the little Uchiha guy lying there was Uchiha Madara reincarnated.

But the sniveling Little Girl Before eyes was no easy target either. This was the renowned Princess Tsunade.

If they rejected her on the spot, there was no telling who she might complain to about them afterward.

Caught in a dilemma, the Leader gritted his teeth and chose to believe Tsunade.

There was no helping it. The person involved was lying right there on the ground.

If there really was some problem, they could wait until he woke up to discuss it.

After looking around, he immediately decided to send the two Genin and three wounded people Before eyes back to Konohagakure.

No matter what, Danzo's injuries proved that there truly was a powerful enemy nearby.

Under these circumstances, these Genin were no longer suited to remain here.

Two days later, at Konoha Hospital.

Kagura slowly woke up, and the familiar ceiling was once again what met his eyes.

This time, he was actually lying in the same hospital room as last time.

After staring blankly at the ceiling for Several minutes, his pupils slowly began to focus.

At that moment, the door beside him was opened.

Before long, two delighted voices rang out one after another:

"Kagura, you're awake!"

Slowly turning his head, he saw that the Approachers were Tsunade and Orochimaru.

Tsunade walked to the bedside, casually set down the fruit in her hands, and looked at him with concern.

When she saw the look Kagura gave her, she instantly understood what he meant. She gently patted him and said:

"Don't worry.

I've already explained clearly how Teacher Danzo saved us."

Hearing this, Kagura confirmed that Tsunade had indeed done as he instructed and finally relaxed.

He said nothing, merely nodding gently at the two of them.

The next day, Kagura had already left the hospital and was standing before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Unlike last time, Kagura had fallen unconscious this time because he had exhausted his Chakra within a Short period of time.

Physically, he had not actually suffered any injuries.

So after only one day, he was discharged from the hospital and immediately Summoned by the Hokage.

Looking at the Handsome youth standing Before him, Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his brow in frustration.

He had already learned the Details of how Danzo was injured from the information sent by the Anbu.

He had even personally met Tsunade and Orochimaru yesterday and questioned them again face-to-face.

But their account Before him was still the same as what they had told the Anbu.

As Danzo's Friend of many years, how could he not understand Danzo's personality?

Moreover, Danzo had personally planned and taken part in this incident.

At the Final moment, how could he possibly have given up capturing Shota Futa, such an Important target?

But with the two of them having Unified the statement, there was nothing he could do.

Helplessly, he could only summon Kagura and question him once more.

"So your account is the same as Tsunade's, is that it?"

Narrowed his eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked directly without further nonsense.

However, Kagura's expression did not change at all. He merely nodded Zhengzhong.

In fact, the First half of the account he had taught them did not differ from the truth at all. It only began to change after Danzo Rushed towards Shota Futa, who had held Jiraiya hostage.

Danzo's purpose in rushing toward Shota Futa was to save Jiraiya, while Jiraiya's injuries were merely the result of accidental Friendly fire.

In the end, to save everyone, Danzo fought Hanzo in a great battle, then fell after being caught in the enemy's genjutsu.

As for the Hokage's suspicions, they had not exceeded Kagura's expectations.

Sure enough, seeing him nod, Hiruzen Sarutobi said Annoyed:

"Do you think I'll believe that?

I know Danzo well enough. Are you sure you still want to insist on This statement?"

Kagura's Response method to such suspicion was very simple.

He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi sincerely and said:

"I won't allow you to slander Teacher Danzo like that!"

???

What do you mean?

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat bewildered by Kagura.
